Thread: Travel with Straight Razor

Friends, tell us how you are traveling with a Straight Razor in other countries. It's no secret that many people have old razors, which are more than 100 years. Do you niggles to customs? Do not say that you are out of the country antiques?

Друзья, расскажите как вы путешествуете с Straight Razor в другие страны. Не секрет, что у многих есть старые бритвы, которым более 100 лет. Придирается ли к вам таможня? Не говорят, что вы вывозите из страны предметы старины?

i just put my brush and razor in my travel shave kit and into my luggage. no hassles and my main home is china.

Word to the wise if its valuable or has and real meaning never trust Charles de-gual airport in Paris I always have items stolen from there.

Similar to shayne, I keep my shaving stuff together in a kit or bag and into my checked-in luggage when I travel from the US.

I also do not bring along any shaving gear that is valuable to me, for fear of the airlines losing it or accidentally leaving it at a hotel. I travel with a plain brush, plain strop (sometimes), Arko (cheap) shave cream, and inexpensive (new) Dovo straight razor. I keep my old razors at home.

I, unfortunately, took all my razors with them and lost almost everything in the Ukrainian customs. A bit later to tell this story. As long as I am experiencing difficulty with English translation.

К сожалению! Sorry about your loss.

dude, no way , that sucks ! cant wait to hear the story

Don't travel with things that are valuable to you. Doesn't matter if they are razors or antique combs.
With travel you always risk stuff breaking, getting lost, damaged or stolen.
If your razors are precious to you, don't take them on a trip.

When I travel, I only take my feather razor with me for shaving. This is easier (no stropping) more robust (moisture in hotel bathrooms) and if it should get lost, it is just a feather razor than can easily be replaced.

I always take two of my Cabinet Cuties, but never the Safe Queen.
